HI CATHERINE, I THINK YOU NEED TO SELECT THE WHOLE COLUMN AND THEN GO INTO THE FORMAT MENU. TONY -----Original Message----- From: Catherine Turner [mailto:catherineturner2000@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 19 January 2006 15:52 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Excel question Hi Patricia, For some reason I still can't get into the Format/Cells dialog - have made sure I definitely finished the edit first. With the scientific notation - so is that what shows up visually in the cell? Is there a choice about how Excel displays this/how JAWS reads it?
